About

100 Mile - virtual_race - 100 Miles. The S. O. L. is a do-it-yourself, self-guided, self or team supported 100 mile adventure. For the month of October, November and December in 2026; runners are invited to explore the beautiful trails of Louisiana. This choose-your-own-adventure race is a unique virtual event. Runners are asked to run 100 Miles on 5 Louisiana Trails (S. O. L. because a star has 5 points) in 3 different regions of Louisiana, in 48 hours. Many folks can run a hundred in 24-32 hours, add in the logistics of travel, and nutrition and sleep and the time those things take.it gets more difficult. 100 miles in one location has been done to death! I, the RD, will provide a list of 25 approved trails to choose from. Athletes must submit a general plan and provide evidence of completion in the form of Strava, Coros, or Garmin data. *Runners would be wise to upload their data from watch to phone with wi-fi. I'd hate to see your event spoiled by a run getting wiped! Yes, you will get a BUCKLE and a t-shirt upon completion! You may not complete the challenge prior to registering for the challenge. That's bogus! All of your submitted data must be recorded AFTER your registration date. The RD has personally completed this task so I know it is possible. If you're looking for a different type of ultra and would like to test yourself physically and mentally, this is the event for you! Rules: Runners must use the approved trails or submit a trail IF it's not on the list. Runners can start at any time of day but must complete the quest within 48 continuous hours. Runners may run in State Parks, WMA's, Corp. of Engineers Property, Parish Parks, National Forests, Rails to Trails trails, etc. as long as it is legal to do so. Private Property not allowed. Trails encouraged, gravel roads in National Forests will be considered as long as it's smaller percentage of your total run. Runners must pay park fees when necessary and follow the park rules and guidelines. Runners will travel between trails on their own dime. Ubers, shuttles, friends, spouses, etc. are allowed to transport the runner as well as your own vehicle of course. Runner may sleep between trails while in transit unless they are the driver. (duh.) Runners may sleep during their run or at a trailhead- follow best practices and the rules of the facility. Runners must run at least 1 trail in each of the three (North LA, South LA and Central LA) regions. (1,3,1-2,2,1are both approved) Runners accept the responsibility of researching the trails and ensure proper procedures are in place for hydration, nutrition, safety, extraction, lights, charging of equipment, etc. Part of the journey os doing the research and preparation. Runners may incorporate an existing race or Ultra into the mix but.said Ultra may not be longer than a 50k. (Runner pays for the Ultra) Runners may not exceed more than 50k on any single trail. (For example: No 60 mile trail and then 4 ten mile trails.) Runner must submit the Garmin, Strava, Coros, data to the RD upon completion. FB posts will also be good supporting evidence. Runners must be aware of hunting seasons and take reasonable precautions. Wearing Orange, taking precautions, running during non-hunting hours, being courteous to hunters. (Hunting on approved trails is technically not legal but.) Runners are advised to be aware of the weather and plan accordingly. 25 Approved Louisiana Trails North Eddie D.
